Cala Domingos, Cales de Mallorca, Mallorca, Spain --------------
Calas de Mallorca is situated on the south-east coast of Mallorca Island, which is composed by Cala Domingos Grans and Cala Domingos Petits, that are only separated by some low cliffs, and Cala Antena, that is about 1 kilometer to the north. More especially Cala Domingos Petits has fine sand and blue/turquoise water, that can get up to 26ºC, and it’s very popular among tourists. |
| Description: |
The genus has thalli of two forms, either erect or prostrate. The erect plants are dichotomously branched to 40 cm long with branches forming a compact spongy structure, not calcareous. The final branches form a surface layer of close palisade cortex of utricles. The non-erect species form either a prostrate or globular thallus with a velvet-like surface, the final branches forming a close cortex of utricles. |
